Do Mayor de Blasio and his minions have it in for Asian communities, or is this 15 percent of New York’s population just invisible in City Hall’s eyes?

The Post’s Julia Marsh reports that the billion-dollar ThriveNYC mental-health initiative has a huge blind spot when it comes to Asian-Americans’ needs. This, when the City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reports that suicide is a markedly higher cause of death among Asians here than for any other racial or ethnic group.

With a budget of $250 million a year, ThriveNYC fails to fund any licensed mental-health clinics geared toward Asians (the city has just three). The program also apparently has no Korean-speaking staff nor any literature in that language.

“We feel like we’re in a room where we’re screaming and no one’s hearing us,” Joo Han, deputy director of the Asian American Federation, told The Post.

Especially since she can’t seem to get the attention of First Lady Chirlane McCray, who’s in charge of ThriveNYC. She’s been absent from the last four sitdowns between Thrive officials and the federation.

His push to limit the number of kids admitted from any one middle school, for example, directly disadvantages students from tight-knit communities. The result: Asian admissions would drop by about half.

His other idea is to simply expand the Discovery program’s alternate path to admission. Yet that plan also discriminates against Asians, by reserving slots for middle schools that just happen to exclude schools that send most Asian kids to the Specialized High Schools.

This, when the average city Asian-American income is well below median.

We don’t want to imagine that the de Blasio administration is intentionally discriminating against any racial group, but that’s plainly the disparate impact of its policies.
